At Fourteen, I was a Regular Junior High School Student, in Clinton, Mississippl, When a Modeling Scout Told Me: You Could Be a Supermodel...But You'll have to Lose a Little Weigt.
This is a photo of me at Sixteen, when I signed a big modeling contract, moved to New York City, and started traveling around the world. It is also when I developed a ferocious case of anorexia and exercise bulimia. Until I decided enough was enough---I wanted to live. And so I ate. And ate.
This is me Now, the leading plus-size model in America.
Offering a behind-the-scenes peek into the modeling industry, as well as a trenchant look at our weight-obsessed culture, Hungry is an inspiring and cautionary tale that will resonate with anyone who has battled society's small-minded definitions of beauty.
"Hungry offers an Intelligent and Intimate look inside the modeling industry and into Crystal Renn's heart. Renn's epiphany---that she didn't have to be a size 0 to find success and happiness---serves as a more powerful portrait of strength and beauty than anything a camera could capture."---Wendy Shanker, author of The Fat Girl's Guide to Life
"An eye-opening tale for all women, Hungry explores the difference between the Fantasy that society projects and the Reality of what makes us happy. Crystal Renn's experience debunks the Modern-Day Cinderella Story of the fat girl who loses weight to get happy. This is a new fairy tale, one in which a young woman embraces the size she's supposed to be, and the world opens up for her."---Lori Gottlieb, author of Stick Figure: A Diary of My Former Self
